Chevy Volt Engine Plant Cancelled
Every time General Motors releases new details on its financial woes, people like me that are interested in the Chevy Volt wonder if this will be the day that GM scraps the Volt’s production plans. In December, General Motors announced that it would be delaying the construction of the Flint, Michigan plant where the Volt’s engine would be built.
Fast forward a few months and GM has released new information about the Volt engine facility – this time, the company has announced that it is completely cancelling the construction of the engine facility.
Automotive News is reporting that now, the first engines for the Chevy Volt will be imported from Europe.
“By December 2010, GM’s Flint South engine plant is expected to begin building Volt and Cruze engines. The Cruze is due in showrooms in early 2010, and the Volt is scheduled to follow in November.â€
The existing plant will need to be upgraded in order to produce the Volt engine; the project is expected to cost $250 million.
